Benefits of Coloring Books For Kids
Coloring may just seem like an activity your kids like to do, but there are so many benefits too!
It can boost creativity, improve motor skills, encourage imagination, build vocabulary, and help with focus.

Extra Fun to Try With Your Dia de Los Muertos Coloring Pages
These coloring pages are so much fun on their own. But if you want to get EXTRA creative, try out one of these ideas!
Laminate
Laminating coloring pages is my secret weapon! Once laminated, your kids can use dry-erase markers to color the pages over and over! Plus, there’s no mess so it’s a great activity for on the go.
To laminate your pages, I love my Scotch laminating machine, but you can also use some self-adhesive laminating sheets with the same result!
Hang Them Up as Decorations
Decorations are one of my kids’ favorite parts of any holiday. Let your kids be part of the fun by using their drawings as decorations!
You can grab a cheap frame to put their finished art on the shelf, or simply use magnets to hang them on the fridge.
Use paint
If you need to switch up your coloring game, don’t be afraid to use a little paint! Kids and adults alike all love painting, and you can find some great kid-friendly washable paint to use!
Color Together
Nothing beats being together! I find that when I sit and color with my kids they stay focused on it for even longer. Plus we have the best conversations and can enjoy some together-time!
How to Make a Dia de Los Muertos Coloring Book
If you want to assemble your Day of the Dead coloring pages into a book, here is the best way to do it!
If you have a printer at home, you can print the downloaded pages out and bind them together with staples, rings, or even ribbon. Or you can punch holes in the side and place them all in a binder!
You can also send your downloaded pages to your local print shop and they should have standard binding options from a simple spiral to a fancy book binding!

Helpful Tools We Love When Downloading Printables
- Printer– I love my HP+ printer that uses Instant Ink. I love it because we can use as much color ink as you want for one low cost starting at $.99/ month for ink. Try it out for free here!
- Cardstock- I always recommend printing on cardstock. This makes it way more durable so you don’t have to worry about printing it time and time again.
- Laminator / Laminating Sheets- Again, for added durability, grab a laminator and laminating sheets so that you can use this again and again!
- Scissors (I seriously love these ones)
- Dry Erase Pens- Use dry erase pens so that you can wipe your laminated printable clean over and over again for endless use!
